Danish cinnamon “gifler” rolls
Ingredients
Danish cinnamon “gifler” rolls (makes about 40) DoughInstructions
Dough
Dissolve the yeast in half the lukewarm milk in a food mixer. Once dissolved, pour in the rest of the milk. Add the sugar, cardamom, crème fraiche and eggs and stir well. Now add about half the flour with the salt and knead the dough in the machine. Add the butter a little at a time. Then add the rest of the flour until the dough is no longer sticky and releases from the bowl as it stirs. It will take about 5-10 minutes, depending on how powerful the food mixer is. Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour in the bowl under a damp dishtowel.
Filling
Mix all the ingredients well with a fork and set aside until needed.
How to assemble Danish cinnamon “gifler” rolls
Sprinkle some flour on a surface. Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll out each part into a rectangle about 20 × 60 cm. Spread half of the filling on the dough but leave a border at the top (see photo). Fold the top piece of dough over the filling and keep folding into a long flat “sausage.” Cut the sausage into 20 equal pieces. Place each piece on 1-2 baking sheets lined with baking paper. Repeat with the next piece of dough.
Let the cinnamon rolls rise for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 200 C convection.
Brush the cinnamon rolls with the beaten egg and bake them in the middle of the oven for 15-18 minutes, depending on how well your oven heats up. They should be lightly golden and the filling should be almost caramelized. Let the cinnamon “gifler” rolls cool and then enjoy them!
